He wins gold in the 50 metres breaststroke, and narrowly misses out on breaking his own world record. It is his second title in budapest. And carol has the weather. Good morning. Today is a day of sunshine and showers. Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery, and some of them will merge, giving longer spells of rain across North West Scotland. But it is also going to be pretty windy. I will have more details in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story it is being described as a major step in developing a new Immigration Policy for britain, post brexit. The Home Secretary, amber rudd, is asking independent Migration Experts to analyse the role of eu nationals living and working in the uk. They will report back next september, six months before the uks deadline to leave the European Union. However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. Our Political Correspondent iain watson is in westminsterfor us. Iain, why has this assessment been commissioned now . It is so close to the end of negotiations. Absolutely. I am at westminster, of course, and the mps are on holidays and it is interesting this has been announced when it cant necessarily be scrutinised by parliamentarians. The announcement, as you say, comes today but the report doesnt come until september and although we are leaving the European Union in 2019, that looks as though there will be plenty of time, dont forget the government has to get a new Emigration Bill through towards 2019 as well, so some suggest this is leaving it rather late in the day. A major study will look at the impact of eu migration in britain, looking at what will happen if you cut migration in Certain Industries and certain regions of the country. It will also look at whether low skilled immigration has had an adverse effect on the british economy as well. Some critics are saying in effect the government is preparing the ground to soften its sta nce preparing the ground to soften its stance on immigration, to take a flexible stance when Free Movement ends, potentially, in 2019, and amber rudd, who commissioned this, has made it clear they will be what is called an implementation period after the exit. We might still see quite high levels of immigration after brexit. The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group of leading medical experts. Writing in the british medical journal, they argue taking antibiotics for longer than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. But the governments Chief Medical Officer says people shouldnt change their behaviour because of one study. Dan johnson reports. Growing resistance to antibiotics is an increasing problem around the world. They have become less effective, because we take so many of them. That means deadly infections spread more easily. Now, some researchers say it is time to end the Blanket Description that every course should be completed. Writing in the british medical journal, the group of experts claim there is no evidence that stopping some antibiotic treatment early increases the risk of infection. They accept more research is needed, but suggest new advice, like stock taking them when you feel better, could help stop taking them. There is already an nhs campaign to cut the use of antibiotics. The Chief Medical Officer says the evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains, you should stick to prescriptions and a lwa ys should stick to prescriptions and always follow the doctors advice. The parents of the terminally ill baby charlie gard have until midday to agree with great 0rmond Street Hospital how his life will end.

Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern france. Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites around the town of bormes les mimosas. Many are spending a second night on beaches, or in sports halls and other public buildings. At least 6,000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames. Harvey biggs reports. For a third night, the skies glowed red in southern france, as fierce wildfires continued to burn out of control. Hillsides engulfed by flames in bormes les mimosas, west of st tropez. Local residents joining firefighters to battle the blaze that has forced the evacuation of over 10,000 people. Having watched the flames inch closer and closer on wednesday, thousands of tourists took the chance to flee. Many had spent the last two nights in the public shelters or camping out on the beach. Translation we evacuate because the fire is coming close to the place, so we pay attention. We left with our clothes and a little food. Residents who fled the flames have now begun to return to assess the damage to their homes and properties, many with stories of narrow escapes. Translation all of a sudden, we were in front of a wall of flames, near the cypress trees. We didnt hesitate. We took some belongings, we took the two dogs, and we left. Translation i climbed high on the crest, and i saw a picture of desolation, because all the camping was surrounded with flames, and we couldnt do anything. Meeting some of the crews and volunteers on the frontline, french Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said there would be an enquiry into the fires cause, which some have blamed on an arsonists. The powerful and destructive combination of heat and wind set to fuel these fires, and test these firefighters once again. Harvey biggs, bbc news. The Prime Minister has said the conservatives have come a long way on the issue of gay rights, but that there is still more to do to achieve equality. Theresa may was marking the 50th Anniversary today of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in england and wales. It meant homosexuality amongst men over the age of 21 was no longer a criminal offence. An extraordinary number of unlawful sentences are being imposed in criminal cases because the legislation is so complicated, according to the independent roddy which advises the government. Independent body. They suggest that laws should be simplified into one document to ensure that people get the justice they deserve. The Police Watchdog says figures gathered by the bbc suggest there are major inconsistencies in the way Police Forces across england and wales are enforcing drug driving laws. Her majestys inspectorate of constabulary said data from a Radio One Newsbeat Investigation indicated some forces are more proactive than others. Dan whitworth reports. Out on patrol with cheshire police. They are on the lookout for anyone who might have taken drugs and got behind the wheel. Police officer hello, driver. Gday, mate. Im alright, are you . A suspicious car is pulled out. The driver is tested for drugs using a sample of his saliva, and it comes back positive for cannabis. Im going to place you under arrest on suapicion of driving a motor vehicle. He is arrested, which means a trip back to the station, and a blood test. If found guilty, he faces a minimum 12 month driving ban, and could be sentenced to up to six months in prison. Since the law changed on drug driving two years ago, it is now illegal to have a certain level of up to 17 drugs in your system and get behind the wheel. Eight of them are illegal ones, like cannabis, ecstasy and cocaine, and nine of them are prescription drugs, ones like morphine and codeine. We asked all 43 forces in england and wales how many drug driving arrests they have made since the change. To try to get some sense of comparison between forces, we divided that by the number of officers each one has. Some forces made one arrest for every one or two officers, others made one arrest for every 19, 2a, or 28 officers. These figures must be treated with caution, because they dont take into account if drug driving is more or less common in different parts of england and wales, and the Police Watchdog says they can only offer a snapshot into how this law is policed, but do provide interesting insight into the much wider issue of drug driving. Is an inspectorate we would ask that they check that they are being as careful as they should be. The inspector says they sometimes had to share resources, to meet demands to keep the public safe. Dan whitworth, bbc news, cheshire. President trumps new spokesman has said he is 100 certain the us will be able strike a trade deal with the uk after brexit. Anthony scaramucci, the White House Communications director, told the Bbcs Newsnight programme that mr trump loved the uk, and he highlighted the special relationship between the two countries as a reason why he believed a deal would be agreed. So think about the special relationship we have had since the creation of this great nation. This nation was a group of guys who thought you know what . We are going to break away from the other nation and start our own country. This is a disruptive start up. You know the president is doing . We are going to. Does that mean making concessions to do trade with the uk . Does it mean you will meet us halfway . Does it mean we have to give in to you . No, i dont think so. Give in to you . No, i dont think so. He is about reciprocity. He is about fair so. He is about reciprocity. He is aboutfairand so. He is about reciprocity. He is about fair and equal trade. Now, alien life might be living closer to us than previously thought. A Study Suggests that every one of us contains atoms that originated in another distant galaxy. Scientists in the us have discovered that up to half the matter which makes up the sun, the earth, and even our own bodies, used to belong to other clusters of stars and was blown here by powerful galactic winds. Until now, galaxies were thought to have been formed largely independently of each other.

For the past two years, he has been working for the east Anglian Air Ambulance service. Writing in the Eastern Daily press this morning, he says he has been proud to serve. Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. It isa it is a job which has clearly meant a great deal to him, to work as a member of the emergency services, valued for what he does rather than who he is. Flying an Air Ambulance and helping to save lives. It was more than two years ago that william first reported for duty with the east Anglian Air Ambulance. He had finished as an Raf Search And Rescue pilot, but chose to retrain and qualify for this new role. On his first morning he explained how much it mattered to him. I amjust Fa Ntastically it mattered to him. I amjust fantastically excited to be here today, the first day. It has been a long time coming. It has been many exams and training to get here, and iam exams and training to get here, and i am hugely excited to be joining a very professional bunch of guys and girls, doing some unique, complex jobs with the Air Ambulance. In the months since, william has piloted the airambulance to months since, william has piloted the Air Ambulance to scores of emergencies. He has seen tragedy and extreme emotion in close quarters.

After tonights shift, william will embark on the role which has been his destiny, as a full time, working member of the british royalfamily, taking on more responsibilities in support of his grandmother, but with what are clearly deeply embedded memories of his time as pilot William Wales of the east Anglian Air Ambulance servers. Havent we had some great news . Well, adam peaty has had a great week. He wanted to see what was left in the tank, and gold was left in the tank. Britains adam peaty says he has been on a rollercoaster of emotions this week, after he won his second gold at the World Aquatic Championships in budapest.

We will look at the papers ina the trend, rest. We will look at the papers in a moment. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Seems to be more rain around. Yes, you are quite right. Sunshine and showers are some of us have some rain, and we will all see some rain and showers in the next couple of days. That is forecast for today. Some of the showers heavy and thundery possibly. We have low pressure driving the weather. The centre is close to the north west. Some of the showers will merge in scotla nd some of the showers will merge in scotland and longer spells of rain accompanied by dusty wind. The wind picking up this evening. So it is dry to start and bright. Showers will get going, as is the way with showers, hit and miss. They could be heavy and thundery. It will be quite breezy as well. That will accentuate the chilly feel if you are in the shower. Into the afternoon, in leeds, 17 celsius and the concoction of bright spells, sunshine and showers. When i say bright spells, winning areas of cloud. It will be bright although you wont have the sunshine. Temperatures in plymouth around 17 and in wales it is a mixture of right spells, sunshine and showers. You will be dodging the showers through the course of the day. Northern ireland has a similar story. It is breezy in the north west coast, it is breezy in the west coast of scotland, later on the west coast of scotland, later on the wind will pick up, touching gales in exposed areas, and Inland Scotla nd gales in exposed areas, and Inland Scotland has bright spells, sunshine and showers. Overnight, some of the showers will fade. As a system comes in across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, we will see a period of rain and windy conditions. The rain moving steadily eastwards. Dry weather around overnight. Temperatures similar to the night just gone. Tomorrow, and not start ona just gone. Tomorrow, and not start on a bright and right note with some sunshine. You can see the cloud building through the day. There will be further showers across from the west to the east. This band of rain comes from the south west and it will spread north east was through the day. Some of this could prove to be heavy. On the plus note, if you are in Northern England, it will be are in Northern England, it will be a fine day. And if you are setting up a fine day. And if you are setting up tomorrow at the festival, rain on the way. However, the Northern Edge of the rain is still open to question. On saturday, cloud in the south east, maybe some rain. We will see Rain In Central Southern England and east anglia. Showers cross from the north. In between, dry and bright weather. And they look on sunday. We are back into this regime of sunshine and showers and quite breezy with highs in any sunshine up to 22 degrees. Charlie and naga, how many ways can you say sunshine and showers and make it more interesting . Showers and sunshine. That is harder to say. Anyway that carol says it is interesting. Good morning. We are talking about cars later. Really interesting. And not in the papers about it. And on the front page, the announcement yesterday, calling air plan condemned as weak and inadequate, this is on the banning of petrol and diesel cars from 2040 and the measures which may come into place for local authorities in between. These pictures in quite a couple of the papers, the fires in the south of france. We will keep you posted on those. Problems with the wildfires. They are happening in the south of france. Holidaymakers forced to sleep on the beach while firefighters tackle the blazes. A couple of stories, one we are looking at, finishing antibiotics could harm you. A report in the british medicaljournal says you may not need to take antibiotics for the full course and that there might be justification to stop taking antibiotics when you feel better. Some doctors say you cant rely on just one report. And care home cover up is the lead story. It is an investigation taking a look at the suspected attack of an autistic man bya high suspected attack of an autistic man by a high risk sex offender in a ca re by a high risk sex offender in a care home. There is investigation into that. Those stories reflected in the daily telegraph. Ben, the Electric Car Story . It talks about how it focuses the mind, this is inside the daily telegraph, talking about changing habits. The deadline is 23 years away. Will it change what we think about buying cars . Yes and no. If you are in the showroom and no. If you are in the showroom and thinking about making a purchase, maybe you would consider a hybrid car which uses electricity and traditional fuel. A lot of questions. We will try to answer them this morning on where the electricity will come from and what it means for hybrid cars. Still lots of questions. Nonetheless the consensus with a lot of people i spoke with yesterday is that this is 23 years away. There is concern about the logistics that go with it and whether it will change minds before the deadline in 2040. 23 yea rs before the deadline in 2040. 23 years to get used to it. You probably wont be driving the car that you buy now in 23 years. And also whether it is Redundant Technology in 2040. Well petrol and diesel cars still be around . They are banning something that might not be used anyway. I am so used to it. I will give you some adam peaty news. We talked about what he eats, how he trains, the music you listen is to he likes grime, likes dr dre, and sometimes he says he feels like listening to classical music. Anything that makes him feel aggressive to get into the pool and put on performances. They get very pumped. A lot of it is psychological. It is all about mindset. We are talking to his mum and gran later. And something in the express, wayne rooney has played his first match for everton, but he is going to be playing at Goodison Park for them tonight. And lots of the papers this morning talking about ross barkley, ronald kunin, everton manager, has been really candid. And how often do we see that . When you see them fight the answer. He is honest and he said he wants to leave and that is how it is. If i hold honest and he said he wants to leave and that is how it is. Ifi hold up this chart, you get the idea. How strong do you take your tea is the question. You have one, two, three, foura, b, c, d. Question. You have one, two, three, four a, b, c, d. It is a highly underrated skill. When someone makes you a very good cup of tea. Where would you be, naga . |j you a very good cup of tea. Where would you be, naga . I always match it with my collar. I would either be ld it with my collar. I would either be 1d or2c. It with my collar. I would either be 1d or 2c. 0k. It with my collar. I would either be 1d or 2c. Ok. This is what we have to put up with if you make naga a cup of tea in the morning. When was the last time you made me a cup of tea . The last time you made me a cup of tea . That is why. There was a discussion between three people this morning on how you like your tea before you even got here. That is how nervous before you even got here. That is iiow nervous everyone before you even got here. That is how nervous everyone is. It is because they care. Shall i rescue the situation . I am enjoying this thank you. The need for food banks is well documented but now a charity says growing numbers are facing so called Hygiene Poverty, where people are unable to afford products such as shampoo and deodorant. In kind direct surveyed 1,000 people and found almost 40 said they had gone without or cut back on Essential Toiletries because of money worries. Breakfasts Jayne Mccubbin has been to see how a Pilot Project in scotland is providing free sanitary products for women on low incomes. Jacob has just turned Jacob Hasjust turned one but when he was born his mum bled heavily. Struggling to get by on her husbands salary, she had to ask for help. I was going through sanitary towels and maternity pads. I had to ask help from friends and family which was great. It is unfair that we have to pay a lot of money to get something that is basic. In this Dundee Food Bank people tell me it is an expense that they struggle to meet each month, that period poverty isa meet each month, that period poverty is a reality. Youre not the only woman in your house . No. I have a daughter. You need those. You have to work out what it will be, gas, electric, you need food, other things first. If this is a problem, how widespread is it . Today a survey speaks of wider Hygiene Poverty. 37 of those questioned said they had to go without Hygiene Essentials due to a lack of funds. That figure rose to 56 amongst 18 24 year olds. How big is this issue for people . What are women telling you . One of the most harrowing stories was an encounter with a lady who had to supplement the use of sanitary items with newspaper. That was heartbreaking. Earlier this year reports of girls missing school because they couldnt afford to towels and tampons led to a promise in westminster to look into the possibility of offering Free Products in schools and colleges in england. One Welsh Council is doing the same. The government in scotland has gone further. It has launched a six month pilot scheme to give away products like this to women on low incomes. Depending on how that scheme goes it could be rolled out across the country, Making Scotland The First in the world to give away sanitary items to women who cant afford it. I want to eradicate. Some want to see even more women and girls benefit. Some want to write for free sanitary products in scotla nd for free sanitary products in scotland to be universal. Right. Open to all. I think it should be for all women. There could be people watching who say this is a matter of prioritised something that is not an expensive product. It can be very expensive, particularly over a womans lifetime. It is a case of, if men had periods, we wouldnt have this conversation. What would you say to the men who might be watching who say, i dont get a free razor, why should women have free sanitary products . I dont get free raises either. You can cope with stubble but you cannot cope with menstrual blood. It isnt the same. It is an unavoidable expense which should become a tiny bit cheaper in april next year, that is when vat on these sanitary products is scrapped. But Scotla Nd Sanitary Products is scrapped. But scotland is leading the way in helping to make these essential items free for some, possibly for all. We are going to speak with a Hygiene Poverty campaigner in about one hour. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news. Im claudia liza armah. A Police Officer has been injured after trying to break up a party in east london last night.

Today a Brisk Westerly wind blowing. Sunny spells emerging later on through the afternoon and the chance of some showers. It is a rather cloudy start. We will see some sunny rather cloudy start. We will see some sunny spells emerge in the second half of the day. Watch out for the odd shower. Particularly heavyin for the odd shower. Particularly heavy in Northern Home counties. Pleasa nt heavy in Northern Home counties. Pleasant in the sunshine. The Brisk Westerly will make it feel a bit cooler than temperatures suggest. Highs ofaround cooler than temperatures suggest.

But now a summary of this mornings main news it is being described as a major step in developing a new Immigration Policy for britain, post brexit. The Home Secretary, amber rudd, is asking independent Migration Experts to analyse the role of eu nationals living and working in the uk. They will report back next september, six months before the uks deadline to leave the European Union. However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. Our Political Correspondent iain watson is in westminsterfor us. Iain, why has this assessment been commissioned now . That criticism will be quite loud considering there is no one to debate this. It is empty behind me, because it is the recess. Mps went off last thursday, so of course this announcement could have been made reasonably about a week ago. And i think what is interesting is this is a major study into eu migration. It is something which i think people would want to comment on, the broad thrust of it, looking at what areas in britain might be impacted if we cut eu migration. Four out of ten migrants last year came from the eu. Also what industries would be affected. Interesting that amber rudd was riding in the ft this morning, a Business Newspaper, about her plans as well. So i think the government wants to reassure business there will be no cliff edge after britain leaves the European Union after 2019. In other words, that the government takes a flexible approach to immigration after that time. Therefore it may be the case that some mps could have criticised the government had they been here, on two fronts. Some saying they should have done this year ago, after the referendum, and others saying are we sticking with our guns, are we really going to be about controlling migration after brexit. The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group of leading medical experts. Writing in the british medical journal, it is argued that taking antibiotics for longer than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. However, englands Chief Medical Officer says people shouldnt change their behaviour because of one study. Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern france. Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites around the town of bormes les mimosas. Many are spending a second night on beaches, or in sports halls and other public buildings. At least 6,000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames. The Prime Minister has said the conservatives have come a long way on the issue of gay rights, but that there is still more to do to achieve equality. Theresa may was marking the 50th Anniversary today of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in england and wales. It decriminalised homosexual acts in private between men aged 21 and over. One person has been killed and several injured after an accident on a ride at the ohio state fair. Fire chief steve martin told local Media Outlets victims were thrown from the Fireball Spinning Pendulum Ride in the city of columbus. At least one of the injured is in a critical condition. He said a full investigation would be carried out. There has been an angry reaction to president trumps surprise decision to ban transgender people from the us armed forces. Hundreds of protesters gathered in times square, Holding Signs saying that resist, and we object. One of the most senior british Navy Officials tweeted to say he was so proud of our transgender personnel. They bring diversity, and i will a lwa ys they bring diversity, and i will always support the desire to serve their country.

A group of polar bears at a zoo in lapland got an early wintry treat when truckloads of snow were delivered. It was transported from a nearby ski centre that had been holding the snow from the previous winter for the start of the new ski season. With july temperatures reaching 25 degrees, however, the bears fun in the snow may be short lived. For the moment they seem to be enjoying it. They look so happy. They do, dont they . And we are talking about adam peaty winning again. We will be talking to his grandmother later, and his mum. Looking forward to that. I know everybody has really got behind him. Britains adam peaty says he is over the moon with his performances this week at the World Aquatic Championships in budapest. He took the 50 metres breaststroke title yesterday, adding to the 100 metres he won on monday, but he just missed out on breaking his own world record for the third time. He said he has been on a rollercoaster of emotions this week, breaking records, then getting back in the pool to race again. Yes, very good. It is quite exhausting coming out, switching off, switching on, especially the night with the double. I am so, so happy with my performances here. 225 points now, and i know that there is more in that. I dont want to spoil it for next year. Peaty says he credits much of his success to his nan, mavis. You might remember her from the rio olympics last summer. She wasnt able to travel to brazil because of ill health, so she watched peatys performances at her home in staffordshire. She has been out to budapest this time, though, and says she has been loving every minute. To be here at this time meant the world to me. It is very touching, really. I couldnt go and see him in rio, but as i say, this has made up for everything. And i am so, so please i have come. And it is 20 yea rs please i have come. And it is 20 years since i have flown, but it was well worth it. 12 time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic wont play again this year, because of an elbow injury. It means he will miss this years us open. Djokovic retired hurt during his quarter final at wimbledon, and said he was considering taking a break to recover from the long standing injury. He says he doesnt need surgery, but rest is necessary. There was frustration for celtic as they were held to a goalless draw by norwegian champions rosenborg in the first leg of their Champions League third round qualifier. The sides meet again next wednesday to decide which team progresses to the play off round. The loser will drop into the Europa League play off round. Last season showed that we actually scored more goals away from home. So yes, it is still evenly balanced. It will be another week fitted, but we are pleased that other players are playing in the game, and in terms of a great atmosphere, wejust playing in the game, and in terms of a great atmosphere, we just need that little break. Two home nations could reach the Quarter Finals of the womens european championship. But scotland need to beat spain by two goals to have any chance, and they also need england to beat portugal, while Mark Sampsons side need just a point to qualify as winners of group d. If they win without conceding a goal, they will become the first england side, male orfemale, to progress at a major tournament with a 100 record, and without conceding. We wa nt we want to improve, we want to get better. We have said before we want to be the best team in the world, and so farwe to be the best team in the world, and so far we have had a good performance against scotland, in other areas a good performance against spain. It is about bringing those areas together and improving again and keeping those mac that snowball rolling, because we want to go into the Knockout Stages feeling confident, feeling we are the team with momentum, and not only will we feel that but the other teams will feel that but the other teams will feel it as well. Englands cricketers will look to retake a series lead when they face south africa in the third test at the oval. The series is level at 1 1, and former england captain Michael Vaughan criticised the side after their defeat last week at trent bridge, saying they had failed to respect test cricket. Current captainjoe root knows his team have to raise their game. It is very important to us as a side to remain true to each other. We are very honest in the dressing room. We know that we werent good enough last week, but effort has never been the issue. And we have got a massive desire in there to go out this week and put a really Strong Performance m, and put a really Strong Performance in, and bounced back strong. 50 sports have now agreed to sign up to a new set of guidelines imposed by the government aimed at making National Governing bodies more transparent and diverse. The code for Sports Governance was published last year, and bodies such as the fa and British Cycling have now agreed to implement the changes by october. The government says it will mark the single biggest collective step forward in Sports Governance in the uk. It is absolutely essential that we have Good Governance for our sporting bodies. They receive public funding. It is therefore right that we have Government Structures in place, ensuring Diversity Notjust at the board level but across the whole of the grassroots itself, and Good Governance will mean we have better decisions being taken, and sport will benefit as a consequence of that. Englands Wheelchair Rugby League side have reached the World Cup Final in france. Harryjones suffered a seizure in two previous matches because of flash photography, and they are really concerned about it. Englands players have reached the final. England were the final home nation left in the competition, after wins over wales and an earlier victory over australia. They beat the australians again in toulouse by 78 36, and they will now play hosts france or italy on friday. And finally, how about this for some remarkable ball skills by a two year old. Jett, from texas in the us, is seen here scoring one shot after the other in his living room. We dont know many takes there were to film this, but no matter he is a superstar of the future, thats for sure. We suspect the offers of College Scholarships wont be long in flooding in for that young man. And it has obviously being edited, but you see them do them consecutively, as well. Ithink but you see them do them consecutively, as well. I think he has a promising career. |j consecutively, as well. I think he has a promising career. I wonder how young you can be signed up. Has a promising career. I wonder how young you can be signed uplj imagine quite young. I imagine he has attracted the attention of all sorts of sides. Charlie is not so sure. And his technique is very direct, it doesnt loop in. From the right to a trial byjury to pioneering so called common law, the British Legal System is admired the world over, and has influenced many other countries. However, is it still fit for purpose . The Law Commission says many Sentencing Rules are old and complicated, and the system needs to be overhauled. Francis fitzgibbon is the chair of the criminal bar association, and joins us from our london newsroom. Good morning to you. This goes right to the heart of our legal system, doesnt it . Looking at some of the figures, out of 262 randomly selected cases, 95, so almost one in three, was found to be wrong in law. That is the scale of what we are talking about. Thats right. The judges have described the Sentencing Rules as a disgrace, and a former lord Chiefjustice Rules as a disgrace, and a former lord Chief Justice called rules as a disgrace, and a former lord chiefjustice called trying to understand them hell. So this is an exercise. It is called a Sentencing Code but really it is an exercise in decoding the overcomplicated rules which govern what sentences judges can pass in criminal cases. Have you got an example of a particular area that people will grasp straightaway as being especially complicated in terms of the law or the sentencing . Yes, i think one of the worst areas is dealing with juveniles. People between 16 or 21 where there is a whole different set of rules according to how old you are. And it is very difficult to work out sometimes exactly what sentences available for people. The code sets out as a sort of users manual, exactly what powers judges have in terms of dealing with those kinds of cases and all kinds of cases. As the Law Commission say, we are looking at some laws which go back as far as the year 1461, they are still in force, and the rules are scattered across a huge number of different cases. So what this is doing is really putting all the different procedural rules on the same place, so that not onlyjudges, but anybody who is interested can find out much more readily what the sentencing powers really are. It doesnt in any way limit the ability ofjudges to pass sentences. There is no shortening or lengthening of sentences. It just shortening or lengthening of sentences. Itjust explains and sets down, really, in one place what they can do. You are a qc yourself. How often a re can do. You are a qc yourself. How often are these things rioted at the time . You say judges often are these things rioted at the time . You sayjudges are describing their confusion, describing it as hell. Are these found many years later righted. Where are these m ista kes later righted. Where are these mistakes discovered . Later righted. Where are these mistakes discovered . Sometimes they are not discovered until the case gets to the Court Of Appeal on different grounds. That is one of the bugbears different grounds. That is one of the bugbea rs of different grounds. That is one of the bugbears of Court Of Appeal judges, that somebody might appeal the sentence because they say it is too long, and when it gets to that level, to the appeal level, and people really scrutinise it thoroughly, they can see that something was missed at the earliest stage, and in fact a sentence that was passed should not have been passed because the judge did not have power to sentence it. So sometimes its that emerges almost by which probably means there are quite a lot of other people who are serving unlawful sentences which no one has picked up. Thank you very much for your time this morning. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning. I dont like when you bring out the umbrella. Ijust dont like it. We will all have them and at over the next couple of days. Good morning. The forecast is bright spells, sunshine and showers. Showers will be heavy and thundery. In the sunshine it will be pleasant. In the sunshine it will be pleasant. In the sunshine it will be pleasant. In the showers it will be cool. That ta kes in the showers it will be cool. That takes us through to sunday. In detail, today we have the scenario of sunshine and showers. At the moment there is quite a lot of cloud around. Low pressure is driving the weather. It is close to the north west. This is where the showers will be heavier and some will merge. The isobars tell you it will merge. The isobars tell you it will be breezy with the Wind Strengthening this evening in the north west. It will be touching gale force in exposure. Some of us start dry, some cloudy, some with sunshine. Showers will rattle through from the west to the east through from the west to the east through the course of the day. They are showers, so not all of us will catch them. If you too they could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures in leeds and around 17 degrees. Further south into east anglia, we cant rule out a shower. They are hit and miss. In the midlands and the south coast, showers move from west to east. Bright spells or sunshine in between. And in wales, you have guessed it, similar, bright spells, many more cloud at times, sunshine and showers and breezy. Temperatures disappointing for the time of year where ever you are, including Northern Ireland, where you will dodge showers in the day. There will be some sunny spells. And across scotland, similar story, some showers could be heavy and thundery. Through this evening as an and overnight, we have a Weather System across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, introducing rain. That rain will move from west to east. Temperature wise, roughly where we are this morning, double figures in towns and cities. That is where the rain goes, west to east, fragmenting as it does. Dry weather around for a time tomorrow. Then we have the next system swinging in from the south west, moving north eastwards, taking its rain with it. Some of it will be heavy. In Northern England and southern scotland, you will have and southern scotland, you will have a dry slice of weather with sunshine. Tomorrow, if you are setting up your tent for the festival, it should be dry. It looks like we have rain coming this way. The northern limit of it is open to question. Saturday sees cloud and rain in the south east. We will see some of that in central Southern England through the day. Rain coming into the channel islands. And blustery showers coming from the west. As we head into sunday we are back into the mixture of sunshine and showers, some of them heavy stea m and showers, some of them heavy steam Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, charlie and naga. Thank you, carol. Lots of attention at the moment on Electric Cars. Partly because of the announcement made by the government for the date on when we can buy Electric Cars. Bens outside to tell us a bit more. Good morning. I have come outside. I have a couple of props with me. Trying to explain what we have heard yesterday, the deadline of 2044 Traditional Cars that use petrol and diesel to be banned on roads in 23 yea rs diesel to be banned on roads in 23 years time, replaced by cars like this. You can see the black and white wine are hybrid. They use traditionalfuel and white wine are hybrid. They use traditional fuel and electricity. The government says over the next 23 yea rs, the government says over the next 23 years, it wants to phase out conventional vehicles and make sure we are driving those. Great for the environments, but at what cost . Richard from kpmg. Good morning. Announcements about the future of how we will be driving. I suppose the first question, is it a redundant deadline . 2040, will we be driving petrol cars then . Yesterday was a real missed opportunity. Advances in Technology Mean we are at the cusp of a transport technology revolution. It is also autonomous vehicles, it is because young people dont want to buy a car, they want to hire one. Huge societal and economic benefits. Great chance for the government to show real ambition. I guarantee that long before 2040 the deadline will be obsolete. If we look at these cars, mitsubishi, kia, these are international cars. Where are we on this scale, it will come down to Battery Technology . There is an opportunity for the uk to get on the forefront of the revolution that is about the battery and drivetrain technology. You may have noticed yesterday the government really happy to secure the mini built in britain. Disappointment that we have not been aortic Litigator Battery and the production here as well. Have not been able to get the battery. We know that this is the future. You may have said that the deadline focuses minds as consumers in starting to think about driving these. Electric only cars account for 1 of all purchases. Around 496 for 196 of all purchases. Around 496 in total. It is not a lot. It is getting us thinking about buying these things. And manufacturers making sure these cars are comparable with what we have today. Exactly. If you go back at couple of yea rs exactly. If you go back at couple of years you considered an electric vehicle if you are an environmentalist. Now it is a Family Conversation everywhere. We are not quite there. There isnt enough charging technology. People are worried about range. I am sure that with investment at technology that people will switch over on their own free choice. And a final word on tax. The government likes to take a lot of money on fuel. It charges huge duty on fuel right now. What happens if we are driving Electric Cars . There is a dilemma the government is in voicing up to which is every time they succeed in switching one person out of a diesel or petrol car into an electric vehicle, they lose revenue from the fuel tax and from the Vehicle Excise Duty and they pay a subsidy of £4500. This is not sustainable. Sooner or later, we have to charge drivers of electric vehicles to pay for road infrastructure. Ok, for now it is good to speak here, thank you. Have a look around some of the cars on the outside. These are very much like those we are used to today. There is not a big difference. They look and sound. I hope this is open. They feel exactly like any car on the road. The question is changing habits, getting used to the idea of buying these vehicles and using them on the road. And i know you have a lot of questions. Yesterdays announcement raises more questions than it answers. Later on we will answer some of those questions. Things about a Charging Point near where you live. What if you have a long journey . Can you charge your car part way through . Will you have to swap your battery . This is an electric only vehicle. You cant even rely on petrol or diesel to keep you going. As we have heard, Battery Technology will be one of the Big Things Industry has to look at. We heard the announcement from greg clark, from the government, earlier about the investment in Battery Technology, to make it cheaper, lighter and environmentally friendly. Lots of questions. We will answer some of them just after 8am this morning. I will see you then. Very interesting and we will be back out with ben later on. Its one of the most hated plants in the uk, japanese knotweed. Its almost impossible to kill off and can damage homes and break through brick walls. More than £166 million was spent last year trying to get rid of it. Now scientists are carrying out experimental trials in a field in east sussex to try and work out the best way of eradicate it. Yvette austin went along to have a look. An and yielding invader of the plant world. It can push through tarmac, concrete and even get into your home. Japanese knotweed only succumbs to the toughest of treatment, which is why experts are experimenting with more eco friendly ways of eradicating it. We have laid a membrane horizontally over this mature knotweed to see if it will contain knotweed or stop it growing. We have dug out a piece earlierjust to show growing. We have dug out a piece earlier just to show you what happens. So this is a piece of rhizome and you can see here all of the pieces that have grown since around may. So you can see it doesnt really contain it, it causes it to spread laterally. That would be your garden and it comes up in my garden. You wont be happy with me. Some neighbours are hoping now the land is in the hands of experts they will eventually see the back of the weed as its presence can affect the value of properties. So this is the garden. The knotweed, the knotweed is just over there, where the hedge is, and it is really encroaching all of the time and getting closer. The worry is, you know, literally the fa ct worry is, you know, literally the fact that it can damage your property and once it gets into the garden it can wreak havoc. And just to show how robust the plant is, it even to show how robust the plant is, it eve n grows to show how robust the plant is, it even grows in the dark and it has found its way through the air vent to the light. So have you found the best way to get rid of knotweed . think we have, it is digging it out, which is the best way. When you dig it out you may have the odd little bit that comes through, small little pieces like this, which is easy to deal with, either by digging further or chemical treatment. The downside, though, is that digging it out can cost more than twice as much as spraying, but the theory is it is quicker and more effective. That is one powerful plant. Japanese knotweed.

It is fair to say that it is feeling rather cool for this time of year and temperatures wont really improve very much over the next few days or so. Today a Brisk Westerly wind blowing. There will be some sunny spells emerging later on through the afternoon and also the chance of some showers. It is a rather cloudy start. We will see some sunny spells emerge in the second half of the day. Watch out for the odd shower. Particularly heavy in Northern Home counties. Pleasant enough in the sunshine. The Brisk Westerly will make it feel a bit cooler would otherwise suggest. Highs of around 20 or 21 degrees. Overnight to note the showers will fade away. It should be mostly dry for the second half. Lows of around 13 degrees. There is more wet weather on the way tomorrow. Probably a dry early start. Very quickly we see outbreaks of showery rain push in. It is still going to be really rather windy. Highs of only 18, maybe 19 degrees celsius. The better chance of some sunshine on saturday. By the time we get to sunday, lighter winds but the chance of some heavy showers too. More in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. A major step towards creating a new Immigration Policy for britain, post brexit. Ministers launch a study into the role of eu nationals living and working in the uk, but critics claim it is too little, too late. Good morning, it is thursday 27 july.

It is a fairly cloudy start, but we will see some of that cloud break up, leading to a day of bright spells, sunshine and showers. Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and will merge across North West Scotland, where later it will become rather windy. We will have more details in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story it is being described as a major step in developing a new Immigration Policy for britain, post brexit. The Home Secretary, amber rudd, is asking independent Migration Experts to analyse the role of eu nationals living and working in the uk. They will report back next september, six months before the uks deadline to leave the European Union. However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. Our Political Correspondent iain watson is in westminsterfor us. A little bit lonely in westminster for us. Who will discuss and argue about this proposal . Thats right, i am here but the mps are not. They went into recess, some are on holidays and summer in their constituency. They are not here to question the Home Secretary over what will be a major piece of work, looking at the impact of eu migration on specific sectors, as they are called, of the british economy. The Health Service, particular industries, and so on. It will even look at whether there is any evidence that unskilled migration is bad for the british economy. It is interesting that amber road, the Home Secretary, was riding ina amber road, the Home Secretary, was riding in a Business Newspaper, effectively, the financial times, saying she was listening to those businesses that value eu citizens skills. So the suggestion is that although the Free Movement of citizens will end when we leave the eu in 2019, the government is signalling very clearly it wants to Ta Ke Signalling very clearly it wants to take a flexible approach to immigration from the European Union after that time. We may indeed still have high levels of immigration after that time, and they are also talking about a transitional period of implementation. So people who perhaps voters in the referendum hoping to get a lot of control over immigration quickly, i think the signal here is that perhaps that might takea signal here is that perhaps that might take a bit longer. But the main criticism from pro eu voices is that the government should really have done this ago. Done this a year ago. The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group of leading medical experts. Writing in the british medical journal, it is argued that taking antibiotics for longer than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. However, englands Chief Medical Officer says people shouldnt change their behaviour because of one study. Dan johnson reports. Growing resistance to antibiotics is an increasing problem around the world. They become less effective, because we take so many of them. That means deadly infections spread more easily. Now, some researchers say it is time to end the Blanket Prescription that every course should be completed. Writing in the british medical journal, the group of experts claim there is no evidence that stopping some antibiotic treatments early increases the risk of infection. They accept more research is needed, but suggest new advice, like stop taking them when you feel better, could help. Antiobiotics are wonderful pills. There is already an nhs campaign to cut the use of antibiotics. The Chief Medical Officer says the evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains you should stick to prescriptions, and always follow the doctors advice. The parents of the terminally ill baby charlie gard have until midday to agree with Great Ormond Street Hospital how his life will end. They have accepted that charlie will spend his last days in a hospice, rather than at home, but chris gard and connie yates are asking to spend more time with their son before life support is taken away. Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern france. Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites around the town of bormes les mimosas. Many have spent a second night on beaches, or in sports halls and other public buildings. Our france correspondent Hugh Schofield is in the nearby port of toulon. Are firefighters any closer to putting out the fires . Iamona i am on a crest above the town that you just mentioned, bormes les mimosas, just above the coast. A beautiful Riviera Beach resort which people will have heard of, about a mile down the road from here. But this is a crest where the hills are under scrub is. And you can see there is this kind of landscape, absolutely flammable in this weather. And we can see where they are right now treating, trying to damp down the last of the fires. The situation is getting better, but there are these outbreaks still appearing, and if we look this direction we can see what it was like yesterday, and how it has become the blackened hillside there, and in front of us the ground, which has been treated. They doused it with water. It has turned black, it is now safe. They say the situation is now safe. They say the situation is getting under control, but there are these pockets which keep flaring up, and if the wind picks up again later on today, they could be out here again. We understand that some holidaymakers have spent a second night on beaches, some in sports halls. What can you tell us about that . Yes, that is true. The first night was tuesday to wednesday, last night. Again they were at gymnasiums. I think many people have sought alternate accommodation. A hotel we have been out, about 20 miles down the road, had many people who had come from here and were prepared to shell out for another hotel, even though they were staying at the campsite here. They hope, and i think they have reason to be optimistic, that they will be able to go back to their campsites later today, but they will not be able to do that until there is a clear, official word from the Fire Authorities who are inspecting this whole area this morning, and will presumably give some kind of word around the middle of the day. For the moment, thank you very much. An extraordinary number of unlawful sentences are being imposed in criminal cases because the legislation is so complicated. That is according to the independent body which advises the government. The Law Commission says Sentencing Rules in england and wales should be simplified and brought together into one document, in order cut delays, save money, and ensure people get the justice they deserve. One person has been killed and several injured after an accident on a ride at the ohio state fair. Fire chief steve martin told local Media Outlets victims were thrown from the Fireball Spinning Pendulum Ride in the city of columbus. At least one of the injured is in a critical condition. He said a full investigation would be carried out. Vice admiral jonathan woodcock, one of the most senior british Navy Officials, tweeted to say he was so proud of our transgender personnel. They bring diversity, and i will always support their desire to serve their country. Hundreds of protesters gathered in new yorks times square, Holding Signs saying resist and we object. The president said the decision was based on medical costs, but both democrats and republicans have criticised the move. Now, alien life might be living closer to us than previously thought. A Study Suggests that every one of us contains atoms that originated in another distant galaxy. Scientists in the us have discovered that up to half the matter which makes up the sun, the earth, and even our own bodies, used to belong to other clusters of stars and was blown here by powerful galactic winds. Until now, galaxies were thought to have been formed largely independently of each other. We are all made of the same stuff, basically. Yes, atoms. The duke of cambridge will begin his last shift as an Air Ambulance Pilot today, before taking up his royal duties full time. For the past two years, he has been working for the east Anglian Air Ambulance service. Writing in the Eastern Daily press this morning, he says he has been proud to serve. Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. It is a job which has clearly meant a great deal to him, to work as a member of the emergency services. Valued for what he does rather than who he is, flying an airambulance, and helping to save lives. It was more than two years ago that william first reported for duty with the east Anglian Air Ambulance. He had finished as an raf sea rch and rescue pilot, but chose to retrain and qualify for this new role. On his first morning, he explained how much it mattered to him. Im just fantastically excited to be here today, the first day. It has been a long time coming. It has been many exams and training to get here, and im hugely excited to bejoining a very professional bunch of guys and girls, doing such a unique, complex job with the Air Ambulance. In the months since, william has piloted the Air Ambulance to scores of emergencies. He has seen tragedy and extremes of emotion in close quarters. Writing in the Eastern Daily press this morning, he says he is hugely grateful for having had the experience. He says it has instilled in him. After tonights shift, william will embark on the role which has been his destiny, as a full time, working member of the british royalfamily, taking on more responsibilities in support of his grandmother, but with what are clearly deeply embedded memories of his time as pilot William Wales of the east Anglian Air Ambulance service. All the sport and the weather coming up all the sport and the weather coming upa all the sport and the weather coming up a little later on. When your doctor prescribes you antibiotics, the advice has always been clear. Complete the whole course or you could risk building up resistance to the drugs. Now, a group of doctors say that message could be doing more harm than good, and more research is needed to determine the best length of treatment. In a moment we will speak to chair of the Royal College of gps, helen stokes lampard, but first lets talk to one of the reports authors, professor tim peto. Thank you forjoining us. Can you tell us the thinking behind this . Because as a piece of advice on the surface, it seems quite ambiguous. Yes, ok. Well, we have all been taught at school and elsewhere that you have to finish the course. It has really been embedded as a concept around the whole country, and we were trying to work out where that idea comes from. Because we couldnt understand it. And it turns out that it was first mentioned 70 yea rs out that it was first mentioned 70 years ago by alexander fleming, who was the person that discovered penicillin and got the nobel prize, and in his nobel prize speech he mentioned this, you should finish the course, 70 years ago, and i dont think Much Research has been done ever since and we have alljust believed alexander fleming. And when we looked at it more carefully, we think there is no scientific basis for that statement, and that actually, the more antibiotics people take, it makes common sense that there is more chance of resista nce that there is more chance of resistance developing in the community and elsewhere. So that really we only want to give antibiotics enough to make you better, but we dont want to go beyond that, to stop resistance. Because i dont think that last bit works. What is the danger if you ta ke works. What is the danger if you take the full course, and dont stop when you feel better . take the full course, and dont stop when you feel better . I think patients have done very well with antibiotics for 70 years, and we all know that they are pretty safe drugs, and it is perfectly ok to carry on as given. The question we now want to worry about is what are the things that we can do on the planet, really, to protect the world from antibiotic resistance. And we really wa nt from antibiotic resistance. And we really want to minimise Antibiotic Risk for resistance for humans and animals everywhere so as to preserve antibiotics for the future, so we want to find out the optimum length of time you want to give antibiotics to you, so the patients get better and are perfectly well, but we dont want to go beyond it. How easy is it to communicate that message for gps . We are going to talk to a gp in a moment about the practical terms. If you have one antibiotic, it surely depends on how the person reacts to that antibiotic, how severe their condition was in the first place. So in terms of guidance for gps, would that be possible . Well, i think we never meant to imply that we were giving patients advice. We want to impart doctors, prescribing doctors, to choose shorter courses without the doctors and their patients worrying about getting resistance if the doctors want to give shorter courses. So we want to empower gps and doctors to prescribe shorter courses. That was the aim of our study. Ok. Lets talk to helen now, at the moment. Thank you very much for your time. You have been listening to that. Do you think this could empower doctors . In the short term it will cause confusion for doctors and patients. But the study is well intentioned and it is a challenge to think carefully about what we prescribe and ensure more research is done. The message today from me and the Chief Medical Officer is very clear. Keep taking the antibiotics your doctor prescribes for you, and do ta ke doctor prescribes for you, and do take the full course. Because the doctor who has prescribed them will have thought about you, your diagnosis, and what they believe is right for you in the light of this guidance and best evidence that we have. So please nobody change their practice right now, but there is more research to be done. How would it work in practice . If i came to you with a condition and said, this is very severe, but you perhaps thought i might be overoptimistic about when i feel well, how would you be able to judge and allow me to judge when to stop taking antibiotics . We have guidance that already tells us the rough duration ofa already tells us the rough duration of a course of antibiotics. If it was a Urinary Tract Infection i would probably prescribe you as a fit, well woman a three day course of antibiotics, and that is on the basis of antibiotics. We reduce the duration many years ago. Cannot 20 yea rs duration many years ago. Cannot 20 years ago you might have had a five or seven day course. years ago you might have had a five or seven day course. Ten or 20 yea rs or seven day course. Ten or 20 years ago. We are always updating the guidance. For a Chest Infection which we believe is bacterial it might bea which we believe is bacterial it might be a five day course. For other infections it will be different. But that is for the clinician to be aware of the latest evidence and to apply it to the patient in front of them. We are moving to a world of more Personalised Medicine where we take other factors into consideration, but we are not there yet. I always feel uncomfortable giving the same dose of antibiotics to a small 19 your baby that i do to a tall, fit, 30 year old right you play. 19 year old lady. But that is what the guidance says and that is what i will follow, because it is the best evidence we have right now. In time that evidence will change. Genetics may play a part. For now, do not change anything. The scientists and researchers do the work, and then the guidance will change swiftly so that can benefit from it. Thank you both for your time. Its 7 17 and youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Carroll has the weather for us. Carol. The forecast for today is sunshine and showers. If you are heading away for the weekend pack something waterproof and something will warm as well, because it will be cool in the showers. Temperatures below where they should be at the end of july. Sunshine and showers sums it up july. Sunshine and showers sums it up nicely. We are ready have some showers in the west. Low pressure is driving this weather. You can see from the isobars that it is going to be quite a breezy day. Later, the wind will strengthen across the north west of scotland. We start with the showers in the west. There is lots of cloud around. That will break as we go through the course of the morning, allowing some sunny spells to develop. Showers will also develop further, moving from the west to the east. Some of those will be heavy and thundery. If you are stuck underneath one, the wind will be gusting around it. Temperature wise we are looking at about 17 in leeds. Coming further south, wise we are looking at about 17 in leeds. Coming furthersouth, bright spells, meaning that at times they will be more cloud around. Showers, some of them thundery, some of us missing altogether and getting away with a dry day. As we move across southern counties and into the south west, we have showers. 17 is the top and project them. Wales, again, we have a dizzy cocktail of bright spells, sunshine and showers. Breezy conditions, especially around the showers. It is the same as we move into Northern Ireland. You will be dodging the showers as we go through the day, and across scotland, where in the showers the temperature will come down. In the sunshine in inverness we could see a high of 17. In the evening and overnight some of those showers will fade. It will still be breezy. The Wind Strength will pick up across the north west of scotland. Gail is possible with exposure. A new weather front comes in, possible with exposure. A new weatherfront comes in, bringing rain across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland. For the rest of us there will be the odd shower, but most of us will be dry, with temp which is about 11 or 15. Tomorrow, that band of rain coming across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, that fragments as it goes east. There will be lots of dry weather, especially across Northern England. The next system sweeps in from the south west, bringing rain. Some of this will be heavy, especially over the hills in wales. If you are in Northern England, lots of dry weather and lots of sunshine. Just how far north this trouble is, we think by evening, we will be looking at a line from preston to howl. That could change. As we move into saturday, we have some rain to start with across the south east. Through the day, this next band comes up from the south west across the channel islands. We could see some across central and Southern England. More showers pouring in across Western Scotland and southern island. Dry in between, and on site on sunday we are back into that mix of showers and sunshine. Tell me this is just a brief respite from the boiling hot temperatures we had before, and they are coming back . I would love to say that, if you like it nice and hot, but next week is looking a bit changeable as well. Ok. Carol, lovely seeing you. Lets get the latest from the Business World now bens here with the latest on lloyds bank, thomas cook and heathrow for us this morning. I have been to as many of these numbers as can so far and these are the ones that stand out for me. We have heard from lloyds in the last few minutes. Pre tax profits of 4 , and have come in at £2. 5 billion. Another £700 million has been put aside for pp claims. In may the government finally offloaded its remaining shares in lloyds eight yea rs remaining shares in lloyds eight years after it was forced to bail it out with £20 billion to save it from collapse. We have also heard within last the minutes that the bank agreed to set up a Compensation Scheme. This will be for Mortgage Customers who were hit with fees after falling behind with customers who were hit with fees afterfalling behind with mortgage payments. Lloyds says nearly 600,000 customers could receive payments that total around £283 million. We will have more on that for you a little bit later. A significant Compensation Scheme for customers. Elsewhere, thomas cook says bookings for this summer are up 11 . It has reported a small profit of £6 million in Patchway Big Loss this time last year. The Chief Executive has described the result is a good performance despite the competitive environment. And Heathrow Airport says profits are up 36 . They have come in at £102 million for the first half of the year. It also says that the airport was busier than ever, with all time records in Passenger Traffic up nearly 4 to over 37 million passengers. Cargo was up sharply as well. I will be speaking to the boss of heathrow at about half an hour. Stay tuned for that. He will have more in that lloyds Compensation Scheme, it is pretty significant, more for you later. Thank you, ben. Today marks the 50th Anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality a Revolutionary Change in england and wales. The Sexual Offences act began the slow process of Liberalising British Laws towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. Yet, many legal changes in the uk have only taken place in recent years. Lets discuss this now with campaigner Terry Stewart who joins us now. Good morning. Good morning. Such an important day in many ways. It puts things in context of it. You have brought a document with you . And this is very much linked to your parcels of you grew up in Northern Ireland. Tell us what this document is first. Well, under the alan turing ruling, the government decided that people could apply for a pardon, anybody who had him as actual conviction. And you had a conviction. When did this date back to . 1981. That conviction remains on my record, which means if i apply for a job, or apply to be part of my record, which means if i apply forajob, orapply to be part ofan organisation, that will show up and ican organisation, that will show up and i can guarantee that i may as well be on the Sex Offenders list. What was the conviction for . be on the Sex Offenders list. What was the conviction for . I was convicted of importuning, which is where you apparently approached another individual with the intent of having or procuring a homosexual relationship with them. If you were to walk up lovers lane with your partner, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, you would just be having a day out. If you are gay that was totally different. And so you are petitioning now to get that null and void. Absolutely. I mean, with my union, unite, 1. 5 Million People are supporting us. I want that conviction quashed. Because there is something in the region of 15,000 other people who are in the same position. It is the way the law works, of all those people, position. It is the way the law works, of allthose people, only position. It is the way the law works, of all those people, only 115 people were eligible for a pardon since the alan turing ruling. When you think about your story, and obviously the people watching do not know about your history, you were born in belfast and yourfamily, i think it is fair to say, were not very sympathetic towards your sexuality . My family were the same as any family, in terms of coming from a Catholic Irish background. My family loved me, the problem they had was the same that every family had, it was that the church and the community were pushing them down a road that was very detrimental to me. So you move to the uk. I moved to london, because we are talking about a period in the north of ireland when it was difficult to be homosexual, and to a large extent that hasnt changed much. They are still fighting for equality in terms of same sex marriage in Northern Ireland, and the same for women, and their reproduction rights. You mention the issue of thing is not changing much, yesterday of course, overnight, we were reporting on bolt ons tweets about transgender people not being allowed to serve in the us military. Donald trumps tweets. Some people are equating that battle now for that group of people to some of the battles that your generation fought over the right to be homosexual, not to be convicted for those things. The less said about donald trump the better, as far as i am concerned. I think in terms of the change that needs to happen now, compare to when i was a young man, i think the priority has to be with young people. Young people are the most Vulnerable People that we have in our communities. They need to be protected. The Government Policy says every child matters, and every 95v, says every child matters, and every gay, lesbian and transgender person needs to be included in that. They needs to be included in that. They need to be protected and the education system, which avoids them being brutally bullied as i was at school. It is good to talk to you. I wish we had more time. Thank you very much. Time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news. Im claudia liza armah. A Police Officer has been injured after trying to break up a party in east london last night. Officers were called to church road just before 9 00 where they spent several hours trying to disperse the group. A large crowd turned hostile after being turned away from the party at a nearby school. No one was arrested. The archbishop of york, john sentau, will lead a Memorial Service today to five People Killed in the fire at grenfell tower. The service at St Helens Church in North Kensington will be held at the request of the victims families. Its exactly five years to the day since the Opening Ceremony of the london olympics, and bbc london has been speaking to one Team Gb Star Whose Life Changed in 2012, and is about to change again. Greenwich judo player Gemma Gibbons won a silver medal but has decided the time is right to retire. Shes now hoping to inspire more youngsters in her new career as a pe teacher. To give that up and move on is a big change, but it is inevitable, first of all, and i think i chose the right time for me to make that retirement and to choose to move onto my second career path. You can see more of gemma in our programme this evening at 6 30pm. Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. On the Travel Situation now. The london underground, delays on the london underground, severe delays between accident at bridge on the Piccadilly Line. Accton and uxbridge.

Meanwhile in battersea, falcon road is closed southbound from the high street because of a burst water main. And in islington, essex road remains closed for water works. Lets have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. It is fair to say that it is feeling rather cool for this time of year and temperatures wont really improve over the next few days or so. Today a Brisk Westerly wind blowing. Sunny spells emerging later on through the afternoon and the chance of some showers. It is a rather cloudy start. We will see some sunny spells emerge in the second half of the day. Watch out for the odd shower. Particularly heavy in Northern Home counties. Pleasant in the sunshine. The Brisk Westerly will make it feel a bit cooler than temperatures suggest. Highs of around 20 or 21 degrees. Overnight to note the showers will fade away. It should be mostly dry for the second half. Lows of around 13 degrees. There is more wet weather on the way tomorrow. Probably a dry early start. Quickly we see outbreaks of Showery Rain Pushed in. It is still going to be rather windy. Highs of 18, maybe 19 degrees. The better chance of some sunshine on saturday. By the time we get to sunday, light winds but the chance of some heavy showers too. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to naga and charlie. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. The government has taken what is being described as a major step in developing a new Immigration Policy. Home secretary amber rudd is asking independent Migration Experts to analyse the role of eu nationals living and working in the uk. They will report back next september, six months before the uks deadline to leave the European Union. However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group of leading medical experts. Writing in the british medical journal, it is argued that taking antibiotics for longer than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. However, englands Chief Medical Officer says people shouldnt change their behaviour because of one study. I always feel uncomfortable giving the same dose of antibiotics to a small 19 year old lady that i do to a tall, fit, 30 year old rugby player. But that is what the guidance says and that is what i will follow, because it is the best evidence we have right now. The scientists and researchers do the work, and then the guidance will change swiftly so that can benefit from it. Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern france. Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites around the town of bormes les mimosas. Many have spent a second night on beaches, or in sports halls and other public buildings. At least 6,000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames. The Prime Minister has said the conservatives have come a long way on the issue of gay rights, but that there is still more to do to achieve equality. Theresa may was marking the 50th Anniversary today of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in england and wales. It decriminalised homosexual acts in private between men aged 21 and over. One person has been killed and several injured after an accident on a ride at the ohio state fair. Fire chief steve martin told local Media Outlets victims were thrown from the Fireball Spinning Pendulum Ride in the city of columbus. At least one of the injured is in a critical condition. He said a full investigation would be carried out. There has been an angry reaction to president trumps decision to ban transgender people from the us armed forces. Vice admiral jonathan woodcock, one of the most senior british Navy Officials, tweeted to say he was so proud of our transgender personnel. They bring diversity, and i will always support their desire to serve their country. In the us, hundreds of protesters gathered in new yorks times square Holding Signs saying resist and we object. The president said the decision was based on medical costs, but both democrats and republicans have criticised the move. Transgender former air force member Vanessa Sheridan said the policy could put Serving Personnel at risk. The duke of cambridge will begin his last shift as an Air Ambulance Pilot today, before taking up his royal duties full time. For the past two years, he has been working for the east Anglian Air Ambulance service. Writing in the Eastern Daily press this morning, he says he has been proud to serve. A group of polar bears at a zoo in lapland got an early wintry treat when truckloads of snow were delivered. It was transported from a nearby ski centre that had been holding the snow from the previous winter for the start of the new ski season. With july temperatures reaching 25 degrees, however, the bears fun in the snow may be short lived. I think itsjust i think its just kind of look at you as if to say you are so stupid. Britains adam peaty says he is over the moon with his performances this week at the World Aquatic Championships in budapest. He took the 50 metres breaststroke title yesterday, adding to the 100 metres he won on monday, but he just missed out on breaking his own world record for the third time. He said he has been on a rollercoaster of emotions this week, breaking records, then getting back in the pool to race again. Yes, very good. It is quite exhausting coming out, switching off, switching on, especially the night with the double. I am so, so happy with my performances here. 225 points now, and i know that there is more in that. I dont want to spoil it for next year. Peaty says he credits much of his success to his nan, mavis. You might remember her from the rio olympics last summer. She wasnt able to travel to brazil because of ill health, so she watched peatys performances at her home in staffordshire. She has been out to budapest this time, though, and says she has been loving every minute. To be here this time meant the world to me. It is very touching, really. I couldnt go and see him in rio, but as i say, this has made up for everything, and i am so, so please i have come. And it is 20 years since i have flown, but it was well worth it. 12 time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic wont play again this year, because of an elbow injury. It means he will miss this years us open. Djokovic retired hurt during his quarter final at wimbledon, and said he was considering taking a break to recover from the long standing injury. He says he doesnt need surgery, but rest is necessary. There was frustration for celtic as they were held to a goalless draw by norwegian champions rosenborg in the first leg of their Champions League third round qualifier. The sides meet again next wednesday to decide which team progresses to the play off round. The loser will drop into the Europa League play off round. Two home nations could reach the Quarter Finals of the womens european championship. But scotland need to beat spain by two goals to have any chance, and they also need england to beat portugal, while Mark Sampsons side need just a point to qualify as winners of group d. If they win without conceding a goal, they will become the first england side, male orfemale, to progress at a major tournament with a 100 record, and without conceding. We want to improve, we want to get better. We have said before we want to be the best team in the world. And so far we have had a good performance against scotland, in other areas, a good performance against spain. It is about bringing those areas together, and improving, and keeping that snowball rolling, because we want to go into the Knockout Stages feeling confident, feeling we are the team with momentum. And not only will we feel that, but the other teams will feel it as well. Englands cricketers will look to retake a series lead when they face south africa in the third test at the oval. The series is level at 1 1, and former england captain Michael Vaughan criticised the side after their defeat last week at trent bridge, saying they had failed to respect test cricket. Current captainjoe root knows his team have to raise their game. Jessica ennis hill will finally receive the gold medal that was cheated away from her at the 2011 World Championships, next month.

In all, 11 athletes and five teams from previous World Championships, going back as far as osaka in 2007, will receive their reallocated medals at the event. There is a ceremony at the end of the heptathlon day, so it is a bit like she has just completed and they will play the National Anthem and everything. It is mixed emotions, it is better for it to everything. It is mixed emotions, it is betterfor it to happen everything. It is mixed emotions, it is better for it to happen and everything. It is mixed emotions, it is betterfor it to happen and not happen at all. Growing numbers of people are facing so called Hygiene Poverty, where theyre unable to afford things such as shampoo, deodorant and sanitary products. That is according to the charity in kind direct. It surveyed 1,000 people and found almost 40 said they had gone without or cut back on Essential Toiletries. Breakfasts Jayne Mccubbin has been to see how a Pilot Project in scotland is providing free sanitary products for women on low incomes. Jacob hasjust turned one but when he was born his mum bled heavily. Struggling to get by on her husbands salary, she had to ask for help. I was going through sanitary towels and maternity pads. I had to ask help from friends and family which was great. It is unfair that we have to pay a lot of money to get something that is basic. If this is a problem, how widespread is it . Today a survey speaks of wider Hygiene Poverty. 37 of those questioned said they had to go without Hygiene Essentials due to a lack of funds. That figure rose to 56 amongst 18 to 24 year olds. Earlier this year reports of girls missing school because they couldnt afford to towels and tampons led to a promise in westminster to look into the possibility of offering Free Products in schools and colleges in england. One Welsh Council is doing the same. The government in scotland has gone further. I think it should be for all women. There could be people watching who say this is a matter of prioritised something that is not an expensive product. It can be very expensive, particularly over a womans lifetime. It is a case of, if men had periods, we wouldnt have this conversation. It is an unavoidable expense which should become a tiny bit cheaper in april next year, that is when vat on these sanitary products is scrapped. But scotland is leading the way in helping to make these essential items free for some, possibly for all. Joining us now in the studio is Hygiene Poverty campaigner rachel krengel, who has struggled to afford Essential Toiletries in the past. You hear how people are struggling, but how quickly you can get into that position. What happened to you . A few years ago my children were very little. We went through a period where we just didnt have enough money coming in for everything. My partner had just lost hisjob. I was at home everything. My partner had just lost his job. I was at home with two very small children, who were very young. And i think what is really. Now looking back at it sticks out for me, most of the other aspects of poverty we were held with. My sister lived in the same town, we had great friends. If we didnt have food, someone friends. If we didnt have food, someone would bias food. When the child didnt have a winter coat my sister went out and bought one. But i never went out and told people that i didnt have enough sanitary towels to get me through the month. I think because it is such. It is such an embarrassing thing to say, to say actually i have had this sanitary towel on for so long that it is really gross now. It is not something people feel like they can talk about. So even people who have options, and the help is there, they dont feel like they can reach out. So it is about dignity, in a way. In lots of other ways you can get high. We have done many stories about how little food people can cope on, but it comes down to an issue around dignity. It does, and i maintain that all of us, however easy you find it to talk about poverty, even about your periods, all of us have this little 13 Year Old Girl who has just spotted load on her genes, and that comes out so quickly when youre that situation. That comes out so quickly when youre that situation. It is not just periods, either. It is the simple things. When you are at school and someone has body odour, and when you are acute, or older, and when you are acute, or older, and you cant afford deodorant, or enough, again it is the dignity thing. You are aware of this and there is not much you can do about it. And it is amazing how expense of those things are, when you think about it. A packet of sanitary towels as a pound and it doesnt sound like a lot, and it wouldnt be enough to me now, but at the time i could buy a bag of pastor and some reduced vegetables, so to go and buy something that is just for me with that count felt like an enormous waste of money bag of pasta. And the stories that we have heard throughout the campaign, you hear the most appalling stories coming through. It is so widespread now. People are actually missing school. People are actually missing school. People are actually missing school. People are missing school, we are hearing stories of children using socks, newspaper, rolled up toilet roll. So the impact of this goes beyond a very practical things you we re beyond a very practical things you were talking about, because it makes people feel presumably less confident, less able to get back on track. And it makes you feel so alone. People dont realise how widespread this is. What is the advice, then . If this is this widespread, and it is an issue of dignity, and not wanting to talk about it or admit you are struggling with this, what should people do . What are the support networks or the signs that people should be looking out or . I mean, ithink signs that people should be looking out or . I mean, i think certainly missing school is a really obvious one with kids. When a child is missing school every four weeks on a four weekly cycle, there is a reasonable chance that that is what is happening. Just people being really embarrassed and not wanting to leave the house as much. I tended to leave the house as much. I tended to avoid anything very physical, or a long walk, because sometimes i was using my diaphragm, which is incredibly dangerous, and it is very uncomfortable, so you dont want to walk very far. You get very nervous about leaving your house, because you cant, you know. About leaving your house, because you cant, you know. You have given usa you cant, you know. You have given us a very clear picture of how it has affected you. And we have a government response. They said in march this year that it is going to continue the fund until eu rules allow a zero rate of vat to be applied to womens sanitary products. A decision will be made once that has been achieved. You think that will make a difference . Is vat a big enough. On principle, they absolutely should not be charged as luxury products, because they are not luxury products. Vat is 596. They are not luxury products. Vat is 5 . Exactly quite a small amount of the money, of that £1. That is 5p, thatis the money, of that £1. That is 5p, that is not going to make a difference. It needs to be available for free. Carol, that looks like a very angry sky. You are not wrong. For some of us it isa damp you are not wrong. For some of us it is a damp start. We will have a mix of sunshine and showers, and some of those showers will be heavy and thundery. That is the forecast for the next few days. The centre of this low pressure system which is coming in is near the centre of the country. This is where the showers will be heaviest. The isobars are very close together, meaning it will be breezy. Later, as this weather approaches the north west of scotland, you will find that their wind will strengthen. Showers packing in through the day, moving from the west to the east. You know the drill the showers. If you do catch one, it will be blustery and the temperature will come down. It will feel very cool for the end of july. Showers continuing across the north of england. Some in the midlands, some in east anglia, some down into the south east. Temperatures up to about 20 celsius in london. In the midlands, down towards the isle of wight, heading towards the isle of wight, heading towards the isle of wight, heading towards the south west of england, we are not immune to those showers either. Not all of us will catch some. For some of us it will stay dry with sunny spells and for wales, highs of 17 celsius. We are not immune to showers in wales, nor in Northern Ireland. If anything, the breeze will pick up in the north west later. The wind will strengthen across north west scotla nd strengthen across North West Scotland later inland. We are looking at a fair amount of showers. Some of them are merging to cause longer spells of rain. In the evening and overnight we continue with the showers. Time, but many of them will fade. A new Weather System comes Western Scotland and Northern Ireland. That will introduce rain. As it continues east, it will start to break up and fragment. That will certainly be the case during friday. We start with a fair bit of dry weather around, but a new set of france comes in from the south west and will push rain steadily north east through the course of the day. So although it will start dry and bright for some eastern areas, such as eastern anglia east anglia, it will build and later we will see the rain arrived. If you are in Northern England it is not a bad day for you tomorrow. Lots of dry weather around, with some sunshine. It is just how far north this band of rain moves. We think at the moment, by evening, it will be ina line the moment, by evening, it will be in a line roughly from preston towards hull. Moving into saturday, we start with cloud and rein in the south east. Then we have another batch coming up across the channel islands. We could see some get into central and Southern England. As you can see in this chart, there will be dry weather around with a few showers. Most of the showers will packin showers. Most of the showers will pack in across northern and western scotla nd pack in across northern and Western Scotland and also Northern Ireland. By scotland and also Northern Ireland. By the time we get to sunday, if anything, we start of a relatively bright note, with some other thing some sunshine. Showers will get going and some of those will be heavy and thundery. It will be especially so across scotland and Northern Ireland. Some of them will merge and we will see longer spells of rain. Temperatures, 16 22. Dont forget, in the breeze and the showers, the temperatures will come around a touch. It will be cooler than we would expect for the end of july. Heathrow airport has been busier than ever so far this year, with record numbers of passengers and cargo. Bens speaking to the boss. Record numbers for both passengers and cargo. And thats good news for profits. Theyre up 36 , coming in at £102 million for the first half of the year. The airport handled 37 million passengers. Thats up nearly 4 . The airports Chief Executive is john holland kaye. Hejoins me from there now. Surinder arora says he can build a third runway for £5 billion good morning to you. On the face of its these numbers are very good. At people will know that you had serious it failures of british airways, your biggest customer, and baggage handling failures recently. It is not good news for them, is it . Actually we have seen record levels of satisfaction at heathrow. Weather you look at punctuality or the baggage collection rates, they are also at record highs. That is what we focus on at heathrow. Taking sure that we look after passengers well, give them a good experience, and thatis give them a good experience, and that is part of the reason why more people than ever are choosing to use heathrow. I am delighted that we have been voted by passengers the best major airport in europe, a great credit to the 76,000 collea g u es great credit to the 76,000 colleagues of mine who worked here at the airport. You say that you give passengers a great experience, and yes, the figures would back those out, but for the people watching this who were caught up in all those delays and all the disruption, they went on holiday without airbags, that is not great service, is it . Well, iwould without airbags, that is not great service, is it . Well, i would like to apologise to any passenger who was disrupted. You understand that the number of passengers coming through here they will be times and we do not quite get it right, but we do our very best to give a great service. We take days like today, we have a lot of people going on holiday today and there will be lots of things going on at the airport to make sure people do notjust have reliable and good journeys, but that they have fun as well. If you are travelling with kids and kids travel free on heathrow express. The four free on heathrow express. The four free at restaurants. We have lots of fun and games across the terminals, to make sure the holiday begins at heathrow. We have lots of engineers behind the scenes making sure that all the pigment is working. The baggage system is in good order, just in case anything happens, we are right on it. We are really trying to make sure that everybody has a great time at the start of their holiday when they get to heathrow. As we said before, you are busier than ever, both with passengers and cargo. You want that extra runway. I want to talk about passengers. On the one hand, they see the need to be able to get through the airport and getaway. What reassurance do have that you will not pass on that extra cost . There are all sorts of figures being thrown about about how much this will cost and whether it will mean we pay more for flight tickets. We are working hard with airlines to make sure that we can debate fabulous Passenger Experience, but also deliberate affordably. We are making Good Progress on that. That would be a big achievement. We are used hearing about these big Infrastructure Projects whether costs keep going up. Well, this is one where the costs are coming down, both in terms of the total amount of money will be spending and also in the terms of the amount of money passengers pay. If we can achieve that perfect position of being able to give a fantastic Passenger Experience and give the connections to Global Markets that the uk needs, meeting all of our environment and commitments, and passengers are paying pretty much all the same that they are paying today, that would be remarkable. John, good to talk to you. I have some much more i want to ask you but it is very busy for ossia. Thank you for your time. I will have more Business News after eight. For many of us, adopting a vegan diet thats no meat, no fish, no dairy, no eggs and no honey sounds like a dramatic step, but would you consider trying it for a week . Thats what the Vegan Society is encouraging people to do, in order to raise awareness about how what we eat affects the planet. We went to a vegan cafe to find out more about the lifestyle. In the last couple of years, demand for vegans who has skyrocketed. For vegans who has skyrocketed. For vegans who has skyrocketed. For vegans food has. People are thinking more about environmental issues, Animal Rights issues, animal welfare, those three things come together and make people change their behaviour. The choices that are available now, compare to even five years ago, are amazing. Not only totally vegan and vegetarian restau ra nts, only totally vegan and vegetarian restaurants, but also vegetable and meat based restaurants that offer a vegan meat based restaurants that offer a vegan or meat based restaurants that offer a vegan or vegetarian choice. People are realising there is a market and they want to satisfy that market. People are much more willing these days to try vegetarian or vegan food. They may not have the intention of keeping it up forever, but they will maybe try it once or twice a week, to just sort of slightly reduce their intake of bodies. Samantha calvert from the Vegan Societyjoins us now. Good morning. You are trying to encourage people to try out veganism . For one week. What difference will that make . We believe it will make a great deal of difference to the planet. Even for a week, somebody cutting out all their meat and Dairy Products can make a huge impact. Obviously it is great if people carry on with that. What impact . What would be affected . Well, we know that by reducing or cutting out meat and Dairy Products, that you actually reduce your food impact by 50 . So your Greenhouse Gases impact, by 50 . It is making a big difference to the planet. There seems to be some evidence that quite a lot of people in their regular diets are moving, to some extent, towards veganism. Certain things like having less red meat, may be less Dairy Products. Do you see more generally, apart from those who are already taking up a big diet, peoples die is changing in that direction. Ashley taking up a vegan died. Yes, certainly we are seeing people reducing the amount of meat and Dairy Products they need. But there has been a huge cultural change, really in the last five yea rs, change, really in the last five years, huge growth in veganism and interesting veganism. There is a week trend in that direction. Particularly amongst younger people. And particularly amongst women. It is making a real difference. Traditionally, the impression of veganism is that those who campaign can be quite extreme. I think there isa can be quite extreme. I think there is a quote about milk at the moment, about humane milk being a myth. Is that correct . The reason i say this is that people always take umbrage at being told they are bad, and that they dont care, without trying to, but they have been brought up on meat diets. You think there is a responsibility on the of egan society and other campaign is to be a little bit more friendly, and little bit less judgement will . A little bit more friendly, and little bit lessjudgement will . Vegan society. Absolutely, we have found in our research that most people are doing things to help the environment. They are making little changes, they are cutting down on how many plastic bags they use, they are making a real difference in terms of switching off lights and things like that. But those things dont make anywhere near the same impact that changing your diet would do. That is why we think it is important that people start to look at diet as well as these other smaller changes that they are making. We certainly do not want to tell people that, you know, we are very much about encouraging people and supporting people in making changes. We would never say that just because somebody only cuts out meat and Dairy Products one day a week that they shouldnt do that. Every little does help. But we do believe that by making a permanent change it can make a big difference. This amount, thank you. Thank you. Samantha kerr thank you. Good morning from bbc london news. Im claudia liza armah. A Police Officer has been injured after trying to break up a party police have released new cctv footage after a man was stabbed to death in greenwich, targeted for his rolex.

Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. There the Travel Situation now. Are severe delays on the piccadilly there are severe delays on the Piccadilly Line between uxbridge and cockfosters. Minor delays from acton town to heathrow, because of a shortage of trains. On the roads brixton hill is closed between streatham and brixton because of a large burst water main. Eight bus routes have been diverted. Meanwhile in battersea, falcon road is closed southbound from the high street because of a burst water main. And in islington, essex road remains closed for water works. Lets have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. It is fair to say that it is feeling rather cool for this time of year and temperatures wont really improve over the next few days or so. Today a Brisk Westerly wind blowing. Sunny spells emerging later on through the afternoon and the chance of some showers. It is a rather cloudy start. We will see some sunny spells emerge in the second half of the day. Watch out for the odd shower. Particularly heavy in Northern Home counties. Pleasant in the sunshine. The Brisk Westerly will make it feel a bit cooler than temperatures suggest. Highs of around 20 or 21 degrees. Overnight to note the showers will fade away. It should be mostly dry for the second half. Lows of around 13 degrees. There is more wet weather on the way tomorrow. Probably a dry early start. Quickly we see outbreaks of Showery Rain Pushed in. It is still going to be rather windy. Highs of 18, maybe 19 degrees. The better chance of some sunshine on saturday. By the time we get to sunday, light winds but the chance of some heavy showers too. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to naga and charlie. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. A major step towards creating a new Immigration Policy for britain post brexit ministers launch a study into the role of eu nationals living and working in the uk but critics claim its too little, too late. Good morning, its thursday the 27th ofjuly. Also this morning should you stop taking antibiotics before finishing the course if you feel better . Thats the suggestion from one group of experts, but gps say more study is needed. Over and out. Prince william prepares for his final shift as an Air Ambulance Pilot before becoming a full time royal. Theyre set to become the norm from 2040 but is britain ready for the electric car revolution . Well answer your questions. In the last hour lloyds bank has announced theyre setting up a Compensation Scheme for Mortgage Customers who are in arrears. Ill have more details shortly. In sport adam peaty completes the double double at the World Aquatic Championships. He wins gold in the 50 metres breaststroke and narrowly misses out on breaking his own world record. Its his second title in budapest. He has done it and his nan mavis is his biggest fan. Well catch up with the swimmers mum and grandmother and carol has the weather. We will see some sunshine coming through with showers in the west. Further showers will develop as we go through the day. Some will be heavy and thundery and it is breezy. I will have more details than 15 minutes. Thank you. Good morning. First, our main story. Its being described as a major step in developing a new Immigration Policy for britain post brexit. The Home Secretary amber rudd is asking independent Migration Experts to analyse the role of eu nationals living and working in the uk. They will report back next september six months before the uks deadline to leave the European Union. However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. Our Political Correspondent iain watson is in westminsterfor us. Good morning to you. What is the idea of this study and what will they do with the results . The idea behind it is to look at the impact of eu migration in britain. It will bea of eu migration in britain. It will be a wide ranging study. They will look at what if you cut the number of migrants. What would happen in Certain Industries . What would happen in the Health Service . What would happen in certain regions of the country . It will also explore whether unskilled migration is bad for the economy. However, whether unskilled migration is bad forthe economy. However, critics have said this is an important piece of work which should have been commissioned after the referendum a year ago. Diane abbott is calling for any changes to be put off until after this study is published in september next year. It does not give much time to change the rules before brexit 2019. The suspicion is the government will take a flexible approach to a grimmer great after brexit. A flexible approach to immigration after brexit. Thank you. The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group of leading medical experts. Writing in the british medical journal, its argued that taking antibiotics for longer than necessary, can raise the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. However, englands Chief Medical Officer says people shouldnt change their behaviour because of one study. Dan johnson reports. Growing resistance to antibiotics is an increasing problem around the world. They become less effective, because we take so many of them. That means deadly infections spread more easily. Now, some researchers say it is time to end the Blanket Prescription that every course should be completed. Writing in the british medical journal, the group of experts claim there is no evidence that stopping some antibiotic treatments early increases the risk of infection. They accept more research is needed, but suggest new advice, like stop taking them when you feel better, could help. Until the research clearer gps will follow the current guidance. Until the research clearer gps will follow the current guidancelj follow the current guidance. a lwa ys follow the current guidance. always feel uneasy that i give the same dosage to a petite elderly lady asi same dosage to a petite elderly lady as i would to a tall rugby player but i will follow the guidance because that is the best advice we have for now. Antiobiotics are wonderful pills. There is already an nhs campaign to cut the use of antibiotics. The Chief Medical Officer says the evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains you should stick to prescriptions, and always follow the doctors advice. The parents of the terminally ill baby, charlie gard, have until midday to agree with Great Ormond Street Hospital how his life will end. Theyve accepted that charlie will spend his last days in a hospice rather than at home, but chris gard and connie yates are asking to spend more time with their son before life support is taken away. Wildfires continue to burn in parts of southern france. Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites around the town of bormes les mimosas. Many have spent a second night on beaches, or in sports halls and other public buildings. Our france correspondent Hugh Schofield is there. I know you have been talking to firefighters in the area, and you can still see damp and blazes behind you. Are they any closer to getting on top of this fire . It has stabilised. It is not under control, they are not saying that, but it has stabilised. We are seeing Little Pockets of smoke going at which they are putting out one by one. We are in an area which has been hit and was burning yesterday. The ground is com pletely was burning yesterday. The ground is completely charred and blackened. It has been doused with water which turnsit has been doused with water which turns it black. If we walk up here on this charred hillside, we can still see the business. This is going to be the problem, because although the fire in general is out, there are these places where smoke is appearing, and the day will heat up is appearing, and the day will heat up very soon. By mid afternoon, it will be like a cauldron here. The dangers are that the wind fanning them will start new outbreaks of fire which is why the firefighters around here remain on high alert. Thank you. Hugh schofield there, our france correspondent. The Prime Minister has said the conservatives have come a long way on the issue of gay rights, but that theres still more to do to achieve equality. Theresa may was marking the 50th Anniversary today of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in england and wales. It decriminalised homosexual acts in private between men aged 21 and over. Theres been an angry reaction to president trumps decision to ban transgender people from the us armed forces. Vice admiral jonathan woodcock, one of the most senior british Navy Officials, tweeted to say he was so proud of our transgender personnel. They bring diversity and i will always support their desire to serve their country. In the us, hundreds of protesters gathered in new yorks times square Holding Signs saying resist and we object. The president said the decision was based on medical costs, but both democrats and republicans have criticised the move. Its just been announced, Mortgage Customers with lloyds bank who fell behind with their payments could be entitled to compensation. Bens here with the latest. They are entitled to compensation, why . It is because lloyds have pursued them fall. Things, about setting up a repayment plan and the Financial Conduct Authority said they were not careful about how they did it. They did not look at if people could repay all these charges and the legal fees associated with it. They have agreed to set up this Compensation Fund for people who fell behind with the payments. They think it will affect 590,000 customers, nearly 600,000 customers affected by this. They will share the money in this redress as they are calling it. It will cover legal fees, the costs associated with pursuing these legal claims. That is one of the issues announced this morning. The other thing we have heard is lloyds will pay even more in ppi claims. It has set aside another £700 million for people who we re another £700 million for people who were caught up in payment protection insurance. The familiar story of banks trying to put things right, in this case involving mortgages and ppi. It will cost how much . On the Compensation Scheme for mortgages, £283 million. Thank you. The duke of cambridge will begin his last shift as an Air Ambulance Pilot today, before taking up his royal duties full time. For the past two years, hes been working for the east Anglian Air Ambulance service. Writing in the Eastern Daily press this morning he says hes the news that the government plans to ban new petrol and diesel cars from 2040 raised plenty of questions. Charlies outside our studio with some of the vehicles you could be seeing more of in the future. I think he will drive away if we do not get some answers. We have had loads of questions. Yes, lots of practical questions. Can you hear that noise . It is a little pinging noise. I have never sat in an all electric car before. There is some kind of thing going. Were not going to drive this one now. I will step outside and give you a look around. We have gathered some cars here, some are all electric, some are hybrids of engines and electric. We are looking ahead to the future. That date, 23 years ahead when you will not be able to buy petrol or diesel car, so it is addressing the issue of what we are going to do about pollution. The world we live in and the air we breathe, are proving to be real problems about what these streets alike and the air we are breathing. We have three people who know a lot more about this. We have jim people who know a lot more about this. We havejim holderfrom what car. Jenny bates from friends of the earth and Richard Threlfall from kpmg. You will be aware that a lot of people are asking lots of questions. They go to the heart of the matter. Clive has got in touch with one of the really basic questions. How will all with one of the really basic questions. How willall the with one of the really basic questions. How will all the extra electricity for all these vehicles be generated . Electricity for all these vehicles be generated . We electricity for all these vehicles be generated . We imagine the world of the future and some people say, maybe sooner than we think, when there are lots of cars driven by electricity, where is the power coming from . We estimate that we will need forjigger watts of electricity to charge the cars up gigawatts. But the good news is we will mostly charge the cars at night which is currently the time when we have a surplus of electricity so it is not all bad news. There will be some areas of the grid which need strengthening but by and large this is not a big problem. We can cope with this. How will people who live in tower blocks, or dont have drive ways, going to access Charging Points regularly enough to use an electric car everyday . That is a fair question and one which has not yet been answered. There are ways you can charge an electric car from a lamp post but the practicality of everybody trying to do that at the same time really needs to be a nswered same time really needs to be answered and we need a much better infrastructure that we have today before the electric car can be universal choice. Everybody says the advances between now and in 23 yea rs advances between now and in 23 years time, these questions will be irrelevant, but on this issue, this is linked to the first question. It is linked to the first question. It is about the generation of electricity. Some people will say will we not create more pollution by generating more power to drive Electric Cars so staying where we are in terms of the overall picture . In terms of what the cars on it and where people are living and walking, it is terribly important what that has come from. But in terms of renewable energy, we have masses of opportunity here in the uk with solar and wind, that evenjust this spring we have had a huge amount, emperor portion, about 25 of the demand coming from solar. It will push further demand. Vehicles are only as clean as the electricity they run on, of course. Lets go back to the money issues. A lot of people are asking how about the money the government will lose in fuel duty . This is up your street. It generates an enormous amount of money for the government. £33 million a year is raised but we only spend about three to 5 billion on our roads, all the rest of it is being spent on the Health Service. This is a really big problem the government will have to face up to. Sooner or later they will charge users of electric vehicles to use our roads in order to pay for it. What about people who live in rural areas or need larger vehicles because of where they live . And some people are saying, where are the big trucks which run on electricity . Do those exist and are the issue is around Battery Power and electric power which will preclude big vehicles from being powered by electricity . There are issues and yesterdays announcement was about small cars and vans. The car industry is investing billions in trying to move it forward. Already we have some Second Generation batteries and in assen leaf in the nissan leaf. How big is the battery in that car . Now capable of just how big is the battery in that car . Now capable ofjust over 200 miles, if you fully charge it, whereas the first generationjust if you fully charge it, whereas the first generation just seven years ago was about half that amount so it is moving forward very quickly. From 2040 you can still buy a car with petrol diesel engine, but it has to be linked to an electric engine, so it isa be linked to an electric engine, so it is a hybrid car. People are concerned about servicing and costs, as well. Is it broadly going to be the same . Actually it could even be cheaper. I own a red nose only myself and it is around two thirds of the price to service it, i own a renault zoe. Jenny, from friends of the earth, maybe what has been changed, saying it has become a commerce ocean people are having around their dinner tables, around their breakfast tables, what they do about cars. Maybe at this stage saying do we still want a diesel car, that is where it is at right now, do you feel there is a sea change going on . Absolutely, and the reason is the Health Issues of air pollution are just so horrible. Childrens lungs dont develop properly, people get heart attacks or strokes triggered by bad air. 40,000 premature deaths a year linked to air pollution, lung cancer, that sort of thing, so the reason is we have to do something about it. That is why we were disappointed with what the government said yesterday, while the signal for 2040 is the right thing, it isa signal for 2040 is the right thing, it is a long way off. We need things to happen now. We need to restrict the dirtiest vehicles now because peoples lives are at risk. A reality check, what is the price check . We have four cars behind is capable of various things, some hybrid, some all electric, give me a price check. The plugin hybrids behind us are comparable with the cost of a diesel today. The difference is not that great. The Electric Cars are typically a bit more expensive but there are ways of getting that money back, they are cheaper to service and fuel, there are tax incentives to own them. There are stimulus that can lead them to be cheaper to run. there are stimulus that can lead them to be cheaper to run. I have seen them to be cheaper to run. I have seen the sun coming out, solar powered car . Absolutely, some have solar power panels on their rooms now to charge them up, so it is possible. Carol, solar powered cars, we would need sun for that. What were looking at is a mixture of sunny spells and some showers. Some of the showers will be heavy and also thundery, some merging to give longer spells of rain. Quite a bit of cloud around. Charlie is in manchester, this is the satellite picture for the last two hours and you can see where it is broken and where it hasnt. Low pressure still driving our weather very much so. Close to the north west, producing a lot of showers and you can tour by the squeeze on the isobars will be a breezy day. Windy with exposure across North West Scotland. A damp start to some of us, particularly through the west. Showers will develop travelling east. Some of them heavy and thundery. In between, there will be dry weather. Some of us will miss the showers altogether. For london, highs of 20 celsius, east anglia could see some showers, you could catch one in kings lynn, in birmingham as well. As we move further northwards, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. For scotland, no different, bright spells, sunshine and showers but at times the showers in the west will merge and this evening the wind will also pick up. For Northern Ireland, bright spells, sunshine and showers sums it up, as it does indeed across much of wales, but if you missed the showers will be pleasant enough in the sunshine. Wherever you are in the sunshine. Wherever you are in the uk, the wind will be that bit gusty and the temperature will briefly go down. Through the evening, we have another system coming across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, introducing some more rain, and dont forget the wind is strengthening too. Temperature wise, we are in pretty good shape, 11 to 16 celsius. Similarto good shape, 11 to 16 celsius. Similar to how you are starting this morning. This band coming in across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland pushes east through the day, it fragments, and at the same time we have another one coming in from the south west, introducing some rain, some heavy, particularly over the hills of wales. We also have a dryer slice across this area. We are looking at the northern limit of this rainfall. By evening we think it will be aligned roughly from preston to hull. In the saturday, cloudy and damp in the south east, we then have some more rain sweeping up we then have some more rain sweeping up across the channel islands, moving north eastwards, so we could see some of that across central and Southern England, the london area and into kent. Some of that could be heavy. More showers coming in across the north west between a dryer slice, not bone dry, there will be some showers around but not as many as we will seek during the course of sunday. Low pressure still with us, this is the centre of it. A lot of showers coming in, merging across scotla nd showers coming in, merging across scotland and Northern Ireland, some of those will be heavy and thundery. Looks like it will be absolutely soaking wet on sunday. Not as bad as that picture looks but there will be quite a few showers around. A very blue map, we need to make it more yellow. Put it you holes in it for some sunshine. If anyone can, carol, you can. No pressure you agree with me, dont you, sally . Yes, carol can definitely do that for us. A man in the water who has been amazing, adam peaty. An incredible performance. Lovely to see the olympic ring tattoo, i love it so that when he is in the pool and he goes up, we see the olympic rings. I wonder what his mum or grand said when he got that had to. That was after the rio games is man was in there, mavis couldnt go, she wasnt too well, so she missed going to watch but she is actually in budapest this week, she travelled. We enjoyed watching her as much as adam. Watching him. Lets remind ourselves of adams success, starting with the swimming superstar in the Swimming Pool in rio. Commentator good reaction, p ki up with them. A very good start. Ptr put them. This is utterly brilliant. Adam peaty takes olympic gold for Great Britain by an absolute street. Yes 0h, he has done it i dont know whether to cry, i am ecstatic, absolutely ecstatic, i am so ecstatic, absolutely ecstatic, i am so proud of him it is really all about adam peaty. The world record is 57. 1 three, but goodness me, the margin of victory, that was phenomenal. To hear his time meant the world to me. It is very touching. Amazing, absolutely brilliant swimming. He is making the re st of brilliant swimming. He is making the rest of the world reset their dreams because they are no longer quicken. Adams mum and nan, caroline and mavis, join us from budapest now. Morning to you both. Good morning. Good morning. Mavis, youre theyre. Has it been worth it to see all the success in the fall . Yes, it has. It has been fabulous. I cant quite believe what he has achieved, tell you the truth. I have enjoyed at every step of the way. Take us back, caroline, lets talk about adam as a little boy, frightened of the water. Can you believe he is at this point now and how did you get him over that fear . I think a bit of tough love, thats the start, with the help of my friend. She took him to the Swimming Pool for me, because he was so the Swimming Pool for me, because he was so distressed, and it was upsetting me. All the other children had learned to swim, so adam needed to swim, because, you know, we are round rivers and lots of water, so it was a life skill that he needed to learn. So a bit of tough love, and it has developed from there. Mavis, as we said, you werent able to make it to rio, what is it like being in budapest now and going into the aquatic centre, with all the noise of a fuss and the razzmatazz, and watching your grandson . M noise of a fuss and the razzmatazz, and watching your grandson . It is electrifying, absolutely wonderful. The atmospheres great. Getting lots of attention from the hungarians. Ive made a few friends, even though i cant speak the language. What sort of attention are you getting, mavis . Just meeting people that are sitting by me, you know, and we join in the, station. The best i can. And la st in the, station. The best i can. And last night we had ice cream boaters. It was really great. Caroline, are you able to watch him calmly . Are you able to watch him calmly . Are you able to keep calm . I would imaginea you able to keep calm . I would imagine a parent you there are in tea rs . Imagine a parent you there are in tears . Yes, im fine until he gets onto the blocks. Then once he is into the water, im sort of screaming away, and then my heart sta rts screaming away, and then my heart starts as he is coming close to the wall. And then afterwards, if he does win, you know, thats when the tea rs does win, you know, thats when the tears start, and the podium really does get to me. Our National Anthem, that brings prickles all the way up my arms, and tears as well. that brings prickles all the way up my arms, and tears as well. I know adam only very narrowly missed out on beating his own record last night. How is he this morning . have no idea how he is this morning, ive had a message, it was a late night for him last night, hopefully we will see him tomorrow. But he has sent me the occasional message, which is more than what i had in rio, which is lovely. Like i said, we did manage to see him for a few minutes after hed finished his hundred, by accident really, as we we re hundred, by accident really, as we were going past the gym. So he is in fine form, really happy. Brilliant. Mavis, good luck for the rest of your trip and enjoy, have a safe flight your trip and enjoy, have a safe flight home. Thank you very much. Thank you mavis and caroline, mavis and caroline, live in budapest this morning. His mum was great with a microphone, at the microphone technique sorted out. Thanks, sally. Time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning. The weather will not change a great deal over the next few days. We have this area of low pressure which has been sticking around over the last day or so. It is bringing with it some gusty winds and frequent showers. Particularly across scotland and Northern Ireland. Showers becoming more widespread across england and wales. Some of the showers could be heavy and even thundery as we go into the afternoon. In between the showers there will be some sunny spells. Not all of us will catch these showers. Most of us will catch these showers. Most of us will catch these showers. Most of us are at risk of seeing a shower. We could see the odd rumble of thunder this afternoon. Temperatures round about 17 celsius. If you catch a shower and will be some gusty wins associated with that. Some breezy winds for scotland and Northern Ireland and a high chance of seeing showers. Through the evening, the showers tend to fade away across england and wales, but they will continue across scotla nd but they will continue across scotland and Northern Ireland. The High Pressure is with us. Overnight lows about 12 to 13 celsius. How about friday . It is more of the same really. A largely dry start to the day. Showers frequent in northern and western areas. Later on friday, we will see persistent rain spreading into south west england, wales, the midlands and the south east. Some uncertainty as to how far north that area of rain will be by the afternoon, but roughly southern areas of Northern England. O nto southern areas of Northern England. Onto saturday. Sunny spells and showers. There could be some cloud and rain later in the day. You can find more details on the website. Bye bye.
